[1.3] Miscellaneous w MAI+Robots

You need plasteel and gold or plasteel and core to activate MAI. Depending on which one.
40/40 or 50/1

Nice job with this haplo! 

Have you ever thought about characterizing turrets according to the weapons we place on it? Like, placing a minigun instead of the generic head?

[Haplo]

I have a function built in that uses the original graphic of the weapon. But to be honest it looks awful when the weapon is in its side view on the turret. Because of that I use three different tops build after the vanilla top. The price of the weapon build in defines which one of the three is shown (small, medium, large). I wont change that as long as the weapons don't have a top view.
I won't do specialized tops as I would have to maintain them for every weapon in the game and in other mods. Really too much work. As it is you can use it for nearly every weapon and it works.
If you want to have the weapon view of the installed weapon, you just have to change the following. Then you can take a look into how it looks with the side view of the weapons..

I totally understand you and the scale of work if every gun had its own png.

It could be at least interesting to see the default weapons or some specially picked for turret mounting. Not pistols, of course, but heavy weaponry. Is there a source of pngs for the default weapons in the game for me to mess with?

Kind of an odd request, but is it difficult/possible to make the nano printer copy the color of apparel as well?

Having issues with the Incident: trader. How do you get them to accept the silver? I have tried putting a zone around the camp which only accepts silver and then i got one of my guys to haul my silver there. Help pls?

Orbital trade beacon. As if you were trading normally with ships. It's a hard coded thing that can't be avoided at the moment, you need the orbital trade beacon to trade.

I can't seem to get the nanite assembler to repair my MAI ..

[Haplo]

OK, what exactly doesn't work? What exactly do you expect to happen?

Trading with on-site traders works the same way as trading with ships: You use the trade beacon and stockpiles to designate what's up for trade.

Here is my setup :

Code Select Expand


Xx = MAI's bed, lowercase x for the head, o = nanite assembler

x
Xo
So the bed and nanite assembler are placed like this, 75 plasteel in the assembler.
Now MAI goes to bed to recharge, she has her left shoulder missing.
When she sleeps, nothing happen except her being recharged as usual.

[Haplo]

It is a bit randomized, but most often the shoulder should start to regrow after a few days.
I need to look into the exact way I've implemented it, but I think it was something like that.
Do you maybe have the savegame + world file (+mod-info) for me, so that I can test it?

[Nirahiel]

Wait nvm it has regrown now. I didn't know it was random. I thought, if she goes to sleep and needs repairs, she'll get them.
Why did you make the choice to set it as random ? That's not intuitive at all, and there are no hints about this behavior.
Can I use this setup ?

EDIT : First time i've been "awww" in Rimworld. Just received blue notification : "It's MAI's birthday, she just turned 1"
MAI is like my baby then

[Haplo]

The randomization is to simulate that the nanites not always manage to rebuild it at the first try.
Sometimes they just need more time..

And yes to all your variants. It should work for all as it just checks for an attached assembler, so it sure is possible to use 1 nanite assembler for 4 recharge stations.

Oh and happy birthday to MAI
